"The Last Buccaneer: or, The Trustees of Mrs A" by L. Cope Cornford is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of early 18th-century maritime adventures, the story revolves around the lives of several characters, including Brandon Pomfrett, a young clerk with dreams of adventure, and Captain Dawkins, a man with a mysterious past and seafaring prowess. The narrative explores themes of piracy, treasure hunting, and the moral dilemmas faced by those entangled in these pursuits. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Brandon Pomfrett, a clerk yearning for excitement beyond his mundane life in Bristol. As he meets Captain Dawkins, a burly mariner, the two are drawn into an adventure revolving around a long-lost treasure map ignited by a mysterious bottle. They soon find themselves embroiled in schemes that point toward buccaneering exploits, navigating the complex motivations of various characters, including the unscrupulous Mr. Gamaliel. The tone is infused with a sense of foreboding and intrigue, hinting at the consequences of their quests for fortune amid the treacherous currents of the sea and the darker elements of human ambition.
